Gen. Resser and Zen. Early.

Some paper having reported Gen. Rossel
as having said that Gen. Early should have
| been hanged for burning Chambersbure
during the war, Gen. Early wrote very
| severe reply in which he handled Gen: Ros
ser very roughly. 1t now appears from
| what the Charlottesville Chronicle says au
| thoritatively that Gen. Rosser did not say
what it was reported he said.
1t is unfortunate that Gen. Early did moi
first learn from Gen. Rosser himself wheth
or or not he had been reported correctly be.
fore he made such an assault upon him.
Gen. Early is armed cap-a-pie and is ever
ready to repel any assault upon himself OF
the cause for which he fought As Gen.
Rosser was incorrectly reported, we will
not publish Gen. Early's eaustic reply.
The Charlottesville Chronicle, that evil
IDENTIFY speaks after interviewing Gen. Ros-
ser, says -
"a paragraph has been going the rounds
of the press purporting to be an interview
with Gen. Rosser in which he is made to say
that IN his opinion, Gen. Early Sought to
be hung for the burning of Chambersburg."
We declined to publish the alleged inter
view at the time, feeling sure that Gen. Ros-
Sci had been grossly misrepresented. We are
now able to state authoritatiueW that there
is about as much trnth in this alleged Gin
tsrview" as in the one which makes Gen.
Rosser declare himself republican, and
John Sherman republican at that. What
Gen. Rosser did say, (but not to newspa-
,kn,,\ L..
friends who asked for an explanation of his
Sheridan letter, he said substantially, Il
thought Gen. Sheridan's contemplated pic
nic up the Valley in as bad or worse taste
than would be holiday excursion by Gen.
Early to Chambersburg. How do you
think the people of Chambersburg would
re ceive Early? Wouldn't they hang him on
sight ?" This is the "true inwardness" of
tie s'interview" over which 20 much fuss
has beeu made. ''only this, and nothing

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
JERSEY City, April l2.-The entire
Election Board of the eighth precinct of
the second district OF Jersey City was
arrested this afternoon for tampering
with the ballot box. At the noon recess
policeman saw Clerk Dolan putting the
registry book into the ballot box, the
book containing about thirty Demo-
cratic tickets. The tickets were folded
and several dropped into the box
before the Clerk could be arrested.
Murphy took the registry book out
and found about twenty-five tickets
had been carefully folded and placed
between the leaves. A number of citi-
zens witnessed the attempt and great
excitement prevailed for time. The
officer sent for assistance, and the entire
board, together with the ballot box and
the registry book was taken to the po-
lice station. Subsequently new cleo
ton board was elected in the precinct
and voting proceeded as usual. The
prisoners were arraigned, waived exam
ination aud were held to appear before

Death of Henry Dockwei,er.


Henry Dockweiler, one of the old
residents of Los Angeles, died yesterday
morning. after short illness. Mr..
Dockweiler was native of Bavaria,
aged SO years. He came to the United
States when boy of thirteen, and spent
the early part of his life in the Western
States. He came to Los Angeles in
1857, and first tried his luck as miner
in the San Gabriel caflon placer claims.
He then settled in this city. went into
business, and was successful. He built
the row of brick houses at the northwest
corner of Fort and First streets in
IS7l-2, and this block was esteemed at
that time q very great mark of enter.
prise on the part of the builder Subse-
quently he invested large amount of
money in the Castle Dome mines, Ari.
zona. This proved an unfortunate ven-
ture, and one from which the deceased
never fully recovered financially. Mr..
Dockweiler has held many positions of
trust an honor in this city. He was for
several years member of the Council,
and always proved an active, efficient
and honest official. He was q man of
good purposes and kindly instincts;
reliable, trustworthy and philosophical;
beloved by all who knew him; a fond
husband, a kind father, and an ire.
proachable citizen. He goes to sleep
carrying with him sorrowful farewell
from all who knew his kind and noble
nature.

A LAND CASE
I'm Los Angeles County Decided
Against the Railroad.

WASHINGTON, April l2.-The secre-
tary of the Interior affirmed the decis-
ion of Secretary Teller, his predecessor,
in the case of E. E. Duncanson against
the Southern Pacific Railroad Company.
Duncanson had entered certain lots in
section %, to wnship 2, range Z, of Los
Angeles land district, which under the
survey made in 1869 by W. p. Rey-
nolds, were alleged to be within what is
now known as the Jurupa Rancho and
were therefore claimed by the Railroad
Company as within it's grant. The grant
of the Rancho being all included by the
survey made in 1878, by Deputy Sur.
veyor Minton, the lots were found to be
outside of the railroad grant. Secretary
Teller decided the case in accordance
with the survey in favor of Duncanson.
but the railroad was not satisfied and
sought to have all the ruling reversed.
This Secretary Lamar declined to do.

THE PANHANDLE THIEVES
Still the EnxrOssing Topic OF
COnversatiOn.

PITTsBURG, April l2.-The wholesale
arrests of employees of the Panhandle
railroad for robbing freight trains con-
tinues to be the engrossing topic among
railroad men and citizens. Superin-
tendent Taylor's office was besieged
from early moraing by men in search of
employment. The road is now fully
equipped, and there is no delay in the
movement of freight. No arrests have
been reported since last night. Speak.
ing of the probable conviction of the
men now in Jail, Special Agent Rice said,
this morning, that sixty men are now
under arrest. There were not more
than one or possibly two, who stood any
chance of being shown not guilty.
A bill was introduced into the State
Legislature last night, which was in.
tended to cover such cases as the rail.
road car robberies brought to light in
this city yesterday. The bill is in the
shape of an amendment to the Penal
Code. At present there is no specific
law against breaking open car unless it
is proved that the car was forced with
intent to commit felony.
While rummaging through the effects
of one of the ringleaders Of the Pan.
handle robbers this morning, Special
Officer Miller discovered package con-
tanning six giant dynamite cartridges.
sufficient to blow up the largest building
in town. The discovery created consid-
erable alarm and the cartridges were
handled very tenderly. Further inves.
tigation disclosed 8 lot of fuse and caps;
in fact all the necessary paraphernelia
for the successful firing Of cartridges.
Immediately after the finding of the
dynamite an investigation was begun,
the result of which, however, the detec.
tives refused to make public. They
even declined to give the name of the
man in whose room the stuff was found.
Officer Miller intimated that the object
of the robber in securing and storing the
dynamite was known, and that it would
make good reading when the proper time
came for its disclosure.

fire at 2:3O this morning and was de.

gone, and the ancient cathedral is in
flames. Edwards Hotel and half
dozen small buildings are also on fire,

imminent. All of the seventy six guests
at the st. Augustine Hotel gained their
safety, as did also all the help of that

that as Catholic, loyal to the precspts

no sympathy with DR.. McGlynn's posi-.
ton, and that as good citizen he could
not in any sense recognize the false
theories which the doctor was attempt.
